Banshee ignores the last track of playlists/albums

[Roberto]

Package: banshee
Architecture: amd64
Version: 2.4.1-3ubuntu1~precise1

If I select a playlist with 30 files, banshee will show 29 files instead, the last track is not shown nor played. Though the data is correctly reported in the statusbar (30 songs - 2 hours, 21 minutes, 17 seconds - 204.9 MB), the list view is missing the last file.

The bug also happens when I view the whole library and pick an album with 20 tracks (only 19 are shown), and automatic and static playlists. It does not happen when the track list contains only a few files, it seems to be related to the scroll area. If the playlist fits in the screen without scrollbars, all tracks are displayed correctly, but when scrollbars are added, the last track is excluded from the list and not accesible.

This happens on version 2.4.1-3ubuntu1~precise1 in Ubuntu 12.04, and also happens with older releases of banshee packages for 12.04. It was working correctly on previous Ubuntu releases, but I'm afraid I can't tell exactly when this bug was introduced.

Sounds like database corruption. Could you move ~/.config/banshee-1/banshee.db
somewhere else and restart Banshee? This will cause Banshee to start with an
empty library, so you'll have to reimport your collection.

If the issue is fixed by doing this, please upload the corrupted banshee.db file
for analysis so we can figure out what went wrong.

Starting with an empty database does not fix it, unfortunately.

I've been doing some more tests: starting banshee in maximized state does not show the bug, so it is a workaround (looks quite ugly with a very high resolution monitor, but well...). Starting non-maximized losses the last track until the window, or just the playlist frame, is resized. The missing track magically appears when the UI is resized and everything works until I close and start banshee again.

The last track can't be seen and can't be selected with mouse, but it *can* be played if I select it with the keyboard (selecting the last visible item, then arrow down and enter). So I guess it is a visualization issue in the scrolling area, the track seems to be there, just hidden.

I wonder, if it's not reproducible in your banshee maybe something else may be corrupted here...

Definitely sounds like a display issue. I have forwarded this bug to the GNOME bug tracker (see gnome-bugs link above). Please CC yourself to the bug to receive updates about it.
